in saner climes, you are expelled for plagiarism

Patsey: [b]This is a very WELCOME step taken by the University of Calabar. The majority of Nigerian academics in Nigerian universities write shoddy papers or articles that would fail undergraduate essay assessments in European and North American universities. They then publish such shady works in dodgy journals and on the basis of such publications, secure academic appointments and promotions in State, Federal and private Nigerian universities. Here is a list of such fraudulent journals: http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/

Many also publish their undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations as books with vanity presses such as Lambert Academic Publishing which also operates under the name of VDM Verlag and a host of others. It's a shame that Universities of Nigeria, Ibadan, Lagos, Ilorin and OAU as well as countless others have their academic staff publishing shoddy works with these vanity presses and journals. The Nigeria education system has truly gone to the dogs!

The way forward is to insist that Nigerian academics publish exclusively in A* - C rated journals housed with publishers such as Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, Springer as well as Journals published by leading University Presses in UK, other Western European countries, USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa. Period. Nigerian University Presses, in terms of peer-review integrity, are stone-dead.[/b]
